When your due date arrives, you will be more than ready to have your baby! Most women deliver the baby somewhere between 37 and 42 weeks. According to the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, only 5% of babies arrive on the exact due date. Approximately 7% of babies are not delivered by 42 weeks, and when that happens, it is referred to as a "post-term pregnancy."

No:
If you're pregnant, a pregnancy test will usually be positive by the time of a missed period. There is still a slight chance of pregnancy, since you might have ovulated late, but most likely you're not pregnant.

Pregnant:
The bleeding may have been implantation of the pregnancy rather than a menstrual period - that is not uncommon. With a positive test you would be pregnant. If you begin to have significant pelvic pain then there would be concern for and abnormal pregnancy (including an ectopic pregnancy) so then see your Ob/Gyn promptly.

Wait until due:
Home pregnancy tests are not useful until perhaps a day or two before the period is due. Most implantation does not cause bleeding and most bleeding in the last half of the cycle is not from implantation. No matter how badly you want to know, there is no reason to check a pregnancy test before it is time.

Yes:
A urinepregnancy test done correctly gives a reliable result 3 weeks after sex (3 weeks after when conception might have happened) or 1 week after missing a period. If done sooner, a positive result is likely real, but a negative result may be due to testing too soon, and therefore lead to a repeat test. If a woman has her normal regular period, then she is not pregnant, and a test is not needed.

Defer to your Doctor:
Health tap is not a place to pit our anonymous advice against the professional there in person taking care of you. What did your doctor tell you about these results? Did they offer you a blood test?
And as an aside on december 16, 2013, with an lmp of 11/17/2013 it surely seems early to be testing.

Norethisterone:
Primolut appears to be a brand of norethisterone, used as a form of hormonal birth control. It is also apparently available outside states for use purely to delay one's menses. It's not clear what purpose you intended or how you took this medication. It's possible to be pregnant despite negative test if you test very early. So repeat test in 7d. And go see your prescribing doc.

Pregnancy:
It usually takes a month or so after a miscarriage to regain your normal cycle.
So it would be unlikely that you are pregnant immediately. Nevertheless it is possible that you ovulated sooner.

Check with your MD:
If this something new, you need to check with your MD to see what's going on. If you have irregular periods chronically, you may not be ovulating. You would still need to see your MD to talk about treatment.

No:
That would be much too soon, if we define conception as the moment the sperm meets the egg, leading to successful implantation of the embryo in the uterus. The home pregnancy test detects HCG in the urine, which means the HCG is coming from the location of the implanted embryo in the uterus. This means test is positive some time after implantation.

Tested too soon:
You had a period. If you were pregnant it was not a viable pregnancy. You have had a period, which meant you did not need to do a test. Periods represent the physical proof of not being pregnant.

Trust the test:
Home pregnancy tests are very accurate. They are the same tests used in a doctors office. They can detect a pregnancy 7-10 days after conception. The best time to take one is when you miss your period. If you doubt the result you can repeat it in 1-2 days. If you were pregnant the hormone level would rise enough for detection.

10 - 14days:
With sensitive quantitative blood tests, the test can start to be positive at 10 days and always by 14days after conception. The problem is knowing when conception is in most cases. Urine tests start showing positive at 13-14days and most would be positive at 18days.

Likely from prior:
Most home urinepregnancy tests are sensitive enough to detect HCG levels about 2 wks post-conception. HCG levels double about every 2 days, but these levels vary from woman to woman, and what time of day the test is performed (early morning is best), so the test it may turn positive earlier for some women. It is more likely that your test was positive from prior sex.

Probably 2 to 3 days:
Under normal circumstances, it is estimated that a healthy fertilized egg takes about 7 days to travel from the site of fertilization in the Fallopian tube into the uterine cavity. If all is going well, implantation into the endometrium (at times associated with bleeding) is believed to occur over 2 to 3 days; betaHCG. can then be detected by a sensitive blood biochemical assay soon thereafter.

Pregnancy unlikely:
Home or clinic pregnancy tests are very accurate, but if done too early, a negative result may be due to testing too soon. A correctly done home urine test will give a reliable result 3 weeks after sex (when conception might have happened) or 1 week after missing a period. A woman can repeat the test if she did the first test too early, such as less than two weeks after conception.

A pregnancy test measures a hormone called human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG). HCG is a hormone produced during pregnancy. It appears in the blood and urine of pregnant women as early as 10 days after conception.
